So.... on to my creation today!
For my card, I used some of the goodies from the Prima Botanical Kit that Flourishes unveiled and promptly sold out of a few weeks back. :-)The pleated ribbon, the pretty decorative paper (Prima Botanical), the swirl of pearls... it was all a part of the kit. Have you checked out the latest kit? You should! It's gorgeous and you can find it HERE. The die cut shape was made thanks to one of the new Spellbinders Nestsabilities Die called Labels Eighteen. I just love this classic shape. I used my Grand Calibur to cut it and then, while my die was still on the paper, I used it as a mask as I sponged on some Antique Linen Distress Ink.
I also used one of the new Copic Collections to color up the center of my flower. YES, I said a new Copic collection grouped by Flourishes. Stay tuned for the details! I colored using the Blue Jeans, and Spring Greens collections and then highlighted portions of the flower using B000. Add some stitching and some pearls and... voila! I did stamp the flower twice so that I could color, cut and pop up the centers of the flowers with some foam tape.
Here's a close up!
And that, my friends, is it! Like I said, there is plenty of eye candy out in blogland today! So be sure to hop on over and pay them a visit to see their latest batch of creativity!!
